The aim of this study is to focus on Japanese encephalitis infection (JEV), a mosquitoborne flavivirus, is a typical reason for encephalitis in Asia (1). Japanese encephalitis (JE) causes impressive disease and passing, especially in kids <15 years old (2). No particular treatment exists, yet JE is preventable by inoculation.
JEV is kept up in an enzootic cycle among mosquitoes and intensifying vertebrate hosts, fundamentally pigs and swimming birds (2). Culex mosquitoes are the primary vectors, particularly Cx. tritaeniorhynchus, and generally breed in rice fields and other stale water assortments (2). JEV transmission happens overwhelmingly in provincial agrarian zones (2).
In Bhutan, JEV vectors are pervasive in numerous southern locale and in some inside areas. Five Culex mosquito species have been distinguished: Cx. tritaeniorhynchus, Cx. vishnui, Cx. pseudovishnui, Cx. gelidus, and Cx. quinquefasciatus. Specifically, Cx. tritaeniorhynchus mosquitoes have been archived in the southern areas of Chukha, Samtse, Sarpang, and Samdrup Jonghkar. In a large part of the nation, rice fields and other mosquito rearing locales are normal.
